Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

Never gonna happen! Crapcom, -$E and E$A will never greenlight it.

Yeah should've added that those may never happen lol
And when you talk about Spyro or Crash, what would you like them to be? The PSX games upscaled with no additional changes? I've got Crash Bandicoot 3 PS Classic on my Vita and it's really good on the OLED in my opinion!
 
Sly? That's good news, but I already bought all three for £7 on PSN.

I'm guessing we can only expect Sony HD collections? I would love non-Sony ones on Vita. Drooling over the thought of San Andreas HD retail with download codes (since card space) for ports of the Android versions of GTAIII and Vice City, eugh.

In a hard copy with upscaling and some texture filtering at native res! Since these games do not work on the Vita in US.
 
If I were to guess a GoW collection won't be far behind if Sony isn't developing a Vita Gow. Ideally it'd be the 2 collections put together for 30-40 euro but I somehow doubt it.

Also if GT for Vita doesn't get announced or even mentioned when Sony will be announcing GT6, they have completely abandoned the platform as GT is the one trump card they have.
 
So with the news of sly collection what else would we like to see?

I would love a Spyro or Crash collection. Or maybe even ICO & SOTC

I am feeling a bit fishy now that no wonder sony did not release patches for remote play on these collections!

Siren HD collection with Siren 2 for the first time on American soil would be awesome. I think the new found popularity of Keichiro Toyama (Gravity Rush) would be a good incentive to do something like that and maybe he could direct a brand new vita-exclusive survival horror, but of course it would make too much sense for Sony to make it happen.

Yeah this needs to happen!
 
I played Dragon Fantasy for a few hours last night and here's my gripe with the game. I feel like it's artificially difficult. I'm playing Ogden's story and he's alone the whole time (at least so far) so battles are just him and the enemy. But where it gets really annoying - and I mean, really annoying - is Ogden's atrocious hit rate. The menu says his hit rate is around 87%, but sometimes he goes three or four turns missing, all while the enemy is getting free hits on you. It's downright infuriating. Then another two or three turns missing. Hopefully it's different in the other chapters.

Buuut other than that, I'm having a good time. There are noticeable difficulty spikes every time you beat a dungeon and venture to a new area, but it's not so bad. And money was hard to come by at the beginning, but now I have over 10k GP in the bank. I think I'm almost done the chapter anyway, I'm at level 24 with a full Forged equipment set and going to get the rusty sword. Enjoying it so far despite the hit rate.
 
Still no info or images on legends of war? I hope that this is a sign that the game is so fun that our vitabro didn't want to lose his time posting here! XD
It's just a re-make of the PSP version though isn't it? I thought it was new content, if so then great, if not my interest will dwindle.

I dunno, but there are ps360 versions too, so in the worst case scenario it's the same good game with better graphics and some touch controls, fine with me.

They're tweaking the hit rate with a patch, so there should be less misses after that.

As noted in the OT, the hit rate is getting tweaked in a patch. Here's how it currently works versus how it will work.
 
Demo takes some time to warm up for sure, basically a long tutorial. I did really enjoy it by the end and online is really good. That said, a game like this will be hard to please or appeal to everyone. What you may dislike may be things someone loves.

I love the theme and lore but I don't feel as drawn to the world and its characters in-game as I thought I would be, so I'm not really motivated to play through all of these missions before the game supposedly picks up. I had the same problem with Monster Hunter and Ragnarok Odyssey. I enjoyed Gods Eater Burst though.

Saw on n4g that amazon is having a SS bundle. Standard Vita bundle: Game, Vita and 4GB Memory card. Honestly this should have been announced earlier.
 
Really tempted by the Sega Genesis Collection on PSP. Anyone have it and recommend it?

You'll have to transfer it from the PS3, or at least that was the case when I wanted to re-DL my copy of it a few months ago. It's awesome and looks great although some of the physics in some games is a little off due to the emulation - you won't really notice it unless you're a HUGE Sonic the Hedgehog nut like me. IIRC, I only noticed it a bit in Sonic, everything else was fine and even then it's still a blast to play Sonic on the Vita.
 
Atlus finally updated the official English site

http://www.atlus.com/dragonscrown

It also once and for all puts an end to any worries about local co-op on the PS3 and online co-op on the Vita

Not sure how old, but Vita version (of Dragon's Crown) saved [cross-play]. ----- actually it doesn't say that - says "same platform" just mentions them both at the same time. Dirty bastards.
 
Vita version needed saving?

Tbh half the reason I'm getting it is because of how fun even the combatwas in Gaucamelee...finally having online-crossplay co-op really seals the deal.

Sure it still looks pretty fun otherwise but since it seems to lack platforming, all the focus is on combat and the option to co-op is crucial imo. If it was just with Vita users, might have too much trouble finding anyone to play with.
 
Wow I have been away for too long. Just found out there's a bunch of demos so now in downloading demos of Sega All-Stars Racing, Soul Sacrifice, Sly 4 and Sound Shapes. I'm a bit excited.

Persona 4 Golden has captured me though.

Can Valkyria Chronicles 2 be downloaded for Vita?

I'm getting these someday:
- Crash Bandicoot 1-3
- Crash Team Racing
- Spyro
- Metal Gear Solid 1
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- Final Fantasy (either 7, 8 or 9)

And I still need to get Lumines and VLR but that's for another day, probably another year as I'm in no hurry.

Is Silent Hill (PSone) or any of the Resident Evils worth it on the OLED?

Just buy it now. I can't put it down! Also try the SS demo immediately.
 
Dammit, Soul Sacrifice is so good. The one thing I do not like, however, is the constant stream of Activity updates. I really don't need to know someone has completed the same mission ten times over :lol
 
Urgh, I wanna get the PS3 Peace Walker version so I can play co-op with a friend of mine, but I got the MGS Collection on Vita and don't wanna double dip for the PS3 version... wish they sold Peace Walker PS3 separately. But if I go ahead and do it, I can get the MGS2/3 PS3 trophies just by transfarring so yay.

I'm pretty sure they do sell Peace Walker PS3 separately? I remember seeing it on the EU store at least.

You can buy the PS3 versions separately on PS Store. 14.95€ in Europe.

edit: Wut? Weird that NA doesn't have the option.
 
I've looked. In Japan, the game is sold separately as a physical release, and in the US, you can buy a download voucher from Gamestop.com. But nothing for Canada.
Weird than NA doesn't have it. :/ It's £12 in the UK store, which is only like £3 less than the retail HD collection goes for sometimes, haha.

They do sell it seperatly, but psn only.
 
I have Peace Walker for Xbox 360 already though and mostly can't get into it, probably because of the Xbox 360 controller and me having to play that one game on a big-screen.

When is Hotline Miami coming out for Vita? Are we looking at end of the year or did they mention Spring?

Not in NA. But it's ok, I think I'll wait to see what this whole MGS Legacy thing is about before deciding to do something. I don't have MGS4 either, and if the MGS1 is Twin Snakes, I'll probably get that instead.

It entered certification testing earlier this month, so it shouldn't be too far off.

I have to ask now. If my Vita goes to sleep, will it continue to download? Didn't they make that possible with an update earlier?
As long as you don't have it set to turn off wifi when it sleeps, it will.

Where in Settings can I change that?
I looked in Network settings but there's no such option.

And why can I download a free trial of Dead or Alive 5 Plus if I don't have PS Plus?
